My place has Kubernetes for when we are ready to scale. I am not sure it has gone above the default two pods. It did cause problems with moderately large uploads (5gb), as the memory gets chewed up far faster when using multiple small machines versus one big machine. I am not sure we will ever actually need this level of scaling.
